Datasources
A datasource is a complete data ingest configuration that consists of the following components:
-
Connector. A connector is a built-in mechanism for pulling your data into Fusion. Lucidworks provides a wide variety of connectors, each specialized for a particular data type. For a list of connectors, see Fusion Connectors.
-
Parser. Parsers provide fine-grained configuration for inbound data. See Parsers for more information.
-
Index pipeline. Index pipelines transform incoming data for indexing by Fusion. See Index Pipelines for more information.
In Fusion 5.1, install connectors by using the Connector Plugins Repository API, which accesses Fusion’s built-in repository of plugins. See Install a Connector - Fusion 5.1 for more information.
See Configure A New Datasource for complete instructions.
